Scorching GOP Ad Shows Pelosi Defend MS-13 as Gang Beats Victim in Background.
This should be giving Democrats nightmares.
A Republican ad for the midterm elections unveiled Tuesday is aiming directly, at Democrats
soft-spot for savagely criminal illegal aliens, and using the words of the party's leader
in the U.S. House of Representatives to do it.
And it's one truth that really hurts.
The ad features video of California Democrat Nancy Pelosi criticizing President Donald
Trump for referring to members of the MS 13 gang as "animals," interspersed with television
news coverage of MS 13 brutal crimes.
Pelosi, who doesn's come across as very bright even on her best days, ends up looking
particularly pitiful in the course of the one-minute ad.
"When the president of the United States says these aren't people, these are animals,
you have to wonder does he not believe in the spark of divinity?" she says.
Actually, you have to wonder if Pelosi believes the words that come out of her
own mouth.
Leave aside the philosophical hypocrisy of a Democrat blathering about a human "spark
of divinity" while championing the "right" to abort unborn children.
On a logical level, what Pelosi was doing was using a deliberate deception by the mainstream
media about what Trump, actually said during a May 16 meeting with California law enforcement
officials, to smear his remarks as referring to all immigrants instead of the merciless
killers of MS 13.
Even worse, from a purely political point of view, Pelosi was taking a side most normal
Americans disagree with, according to at least one poll.
"Overall, Americans split 56 or 44 in support of using an 'animals' metaphor.
The question splits young voters (under 35) down the middle, but all other age demos have
solid majorities finding 'animals' a fair description of MS-13.
It's not popular among Hispanic voters, but only narrowly at 47/53, surprisingly.
There's almost no difference between urban, suburban, and rural voters on this question,
all of which back it with majorities.
Independents find it fair on a 55/45 basis, while only 25% of Republicans consider it
unfair.
'In other words, getting into semantic games over the use of a metaphor doesn't look
like a winner for Pelosi & Co, which is why the RNC rushed out its first attack ad on
the subject.
It won't be the last, since Pelosi's argument only wins significantly among African-Americans
(35/65) and Democrats, but only 41/59.
Pelosi's argument isn't even a slam dunk inside the fold, let alone outside of it."
So, with the prospect of Pelosi returning as speaker of the House if the Democrats win
back control of the lower chamber in the November midterms, every competitive congressional
district is likely to see ads like this.
And that should mean some very uneasy nights for Democrats in the months ahead.
Because this truth really does hurt — badly.
